I have a battery charger for charging the 12-volt boat battery. The
charger has two settings -- 2 amps or 6 amps.

My question is, if I have the charger set at 2 amps, how long is it okay
for me to leave the charger on? My boat is in a garage at a location that
I usually only get to about once a week or so. Is it okay if the charger
is left on at the 2-amp setting for say, a week?


Get an automatic charger that shuts off when the battery is full. I also
use a wall timer and set it for 12 hours and remove the "ON" clip and
manually turn on the timer and 12 hours later it turns off, preventing the
charger from running until you reset it. Before I had the auto timer I
cooked a couple of batteries. The Automatic model I have now, does not need
the timer.
